"That hardcover editon of "The Pine Barrens" that has the photos in it- it's long out of print, so any time you can find one, get it!" - BarryC http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/jan-1974-national-geographic.1003/page-2

"The photos above are of William Wasowich, one of the last South Jersey moss rakers hard at work in 1992 in a Pine Barrens sphagnum bog. Wasowich was one of the characters mentioned in John McPhee’s book, The Pine Barrens..." http://www.dougelliott.com/adventures/moss.html A bit of a...

"I'm retired, have a 4X4 truck and a landscape trailer, and I'm looking to kayak if anyone's interested." Hey, I'd love to go with you, but unfortunately I now live several thousand miles away.

Another photo from that 1980 canoe trip. That's me again. And there's my IK parked on the shore of Lake Oswego, Oct. 21, 1990. UH OH! I am hijacking this thread. I'm sorry. Just say the word and I'll delete my posts and start another thread instead.

I used to love canoeing in the Barrens. Once I went with a canoe club on New Years Day. I think it was their tradition to go canoeing every year on that day. I brought my inflatable kayak. The water was partly frozen but the sun was bright and it was fun. Here's a photo of me cutting up on...

Same here.

Yeah, I came across that someplace online a couple of years ago. Thanks for the book info.

Thanks! It says new paperback, only $5.46. Can it still be in print? That must be a mistake. As I vaguely recall it had an update on the people in the book, including Mr Brown's friend, and someplace online - probably here - I came across some info on him - forgot his name, Wambsgans or...

How can you search for that particular edition on Amazon, Ben?

Boyd, I came across your GPS mapping when I was scanning this great website the other night. I was awfully impressed. I've used GPS for years going back to the Garmin II. But I've never learned how to use any non-Garmin maps. I have the 276C now and I've been following the reviews for the...

There wasn't much there back then, just a few shacks in the woods.

I read your thread, Guy. It's great. This is a great website. There's so much here. EC , thanks for the map. The track marked "abandoned", that must be the place all right. Has anyone ever heard of that train wreck? I should get on the Google and see if I can find something. What would...

Me too. Is the place radically different today?

That must be the one with an additional addendum and photos. I only saw it once, when it first came out I think. It must be rare. On Amazon, under reviews, the first one by "A Customer", from 1999, that's me. 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars A...

Years ago, when i used to haunt the PB, I used geological survey maps. My last adventure - or rather misadventure! - was about eight years ago, and then I was using my Garmin GPS map which was surprisingly good - and wound up saving me about $20,000, but that's another story!

Thanks, Guy, but why would I need to do that? They've just been sitting around for all these years unappreciated. Perhaps, as I mentioned before on another thread, I might just put them on a thread of their own, or along with other old PB photos, so that they'd be more accessible, instead of...

Snake in the grass by Simm Place, NJ Pine Barrens. 40 years ago, Sep 1971.

Forty years ago, Sept. 1971, I came across a train wreck in the Barrens, near the Carranza Memorial. Here's a photo I took of an upended Erie car by the NJ Central tracks.

Turns out he is much friendly in person than the legend would have us believe!! ________ He has always been most cordial to me. But I think you might be confusing the Jersey Devil with the Jersey Water Lilly.
